Absolutely incorrect. Do you really think the majority of people lived on an acre of arable land providing bountiful vegetables year-round? Do you know what a "tenement" is? Do you know how many people had indoor plumbing in 1960?

Do you know how many people went to college in 1960? Do you know how many households didn't have indoor plumbing? Do you know how many people died of measles? You are cherry picking a few data points to paint a very, very rosy picture

Shortchanging? Do you have any idea what a "typical" middle class lifestyle was like in the 1960s? (Not the romanticized one). Do you think they were eating organic avocados? Life and technology and healthcare and many other thing

Have you ever heard of leaded gas?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are referencing or what person you are talking about. Please stay on topic. Did you respond to a different post by accident? What is your contribution?

In fact I have 3 children, thanks! And controlling your child's screen time + social media is a very possible thing! It's called "raising your children". Please stay on topic lest everyone get confused by your nonsense a

The world is a whole lot more complicated than the simplistic "CEOs are evil" nonsense. I suggest you talk to an entrepreneur sometime. Or, better yet, do it yourself before judging others so harshly. Or is it too hard for you?

And they can get a new job? Or should people be in the same job all their life?

by matchbok3 1mo ago
Workers are not legally or financially accountable for any of that. That is the whole point of a "job". I think you are confused.

Feel the heat? As in, be punished? For what, exactly?

Number of people who think that a leader or a CEO can be replaced by AI and who themselves have actually risked everything to start a company, be a leader, or do anything similar: exactly 0.

Capitalism forces parents to let their kids use their phones and social media all day? Hm, odd. I didn't know parents didn't have authority or agency. Good to know.

Nobody is keeping money in anybody's pockets. What you are advocating for is a tax on NYC people to force them to use human drivers instead of new technology. Just like the toll booth operators of the 90s. It is so disappointing to see

The argument is it's a waste of time, energy, and money that could be used elsewhere. If the creators of this law really thought this would change behavior, they would put a "review" into the law in 5 years with clear success

So about 1% of a 1% of a market. Got it. All of the information about the tires is already available. There is no new information, just duplicated. If a large number of consumers actually cared about their tires drag coefficient we wouldn

What a silly law. If a tire is "inefficient" and therefore "bad", why can't California just ban the sale of them? Instead there will be a new government funded office and rating system with "leaf" icons th

Please look at the border crossings by year, and the asylum nonsense and get back to me champ.

What an odd view of your fellow citizen. To simplify their aspirations as simple fear rather than a complex, human, genuine need. My only question if this: is this tactic working for your side? Given your historic loses to horrible people (

Weird, given how more non-whites voted for the GOP last time around. It's almost as if things are not as simple as you are hoping them to be.

Right, but, nobody uses it. So what's the point for Google?

by matchbok3 2mo ago
It's crazy to me how MS continue to do stuff like this. Ads in the start menu, anti-user UX, spam apps, etc. Every time I think their behavior will change and I am always disappointed.

You think XYZ Company is going to listen to some consultant telling them in a press release that they should go back into the office because some REIT needs more money in it? Why would the CEO of a tech company care at all what the value of

If you are willing to believe a nonsense conspiracy like that then there is no way we could have a productive conversation.

The idea of a "one time" tax is so stupid that any person, regardless of income, should oppose it. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

It's 2026, the conspiracy theory that business people wanted RTO for office space value has been debunked 100 times. Such a silly, nonsense idea.

Nobody would say we should divide the total cost of all USA highway spending by the miles driven by a suburban family to figure out what it should cost them. Or would you? Because that is the most analogous way to what you just offered. My

Sorry, I didn't realize you're a parody account. A typical trip on the NYC subway is not 20 dollars haha. You almost got me. Thanks for the jokes bud. Hilarious that there are serious people who say mostly the stuff you are saying

You seem to have a axe to grind against cities. And based on how you describe them, you actually never lived in a city with children. If you think most families who live in a city only have access to "one" park or "one"
